Press). Vienna, Dec. 29.—Further measures for the elimination of the “middle- man whose participation in commerce does not add to the value or facilitate the distribution of necessitties” are being adopted throughout the Aus- tro-Hungarian monarchy. Not alone are new laws for the purpose being enacted, but the provisions already made by the civil and military bodies are now being enforced with a rigor that gives no quarter to offenders. Laws in force and in the course cf enactment provide that nobody with- in Austria and Hungary may buy an article of necessity and then sell it again for the sake of personal gain. This affects transactions in food- stuffs especially. When the Euro- pean war broke out it was found that there were many who wished to profit by it through the ‘cornering” of cer- tain supplies. In little time the cost of living went up alarmingly, in- creases ranging from 50 to 400 per cent. To curb this tendency the gov- ernment itself took such action ag its power and scope permitted. It was found. however, that the legislative bodies of Austria and Hungary, had to act in the matter. Suitable laws were adopted. and these are now be- ing so amplified as to close the loop- holes which various actions at law have disclosed. Letter and Spirit. A recent ruling in an perior court in this city because it shows both the letter and spirit of the “anti-speculation laws’” which have been adopted. In this case three Galician had bought a relatively small quantity of foodstuff, mostly grain. At the trial it was shown that the three dealers had shown that the three dealers had sold the articles again in the same town, in one instance wheat had been re-sold to its original owner. A profit had been made, and a slight in- crease In the price of food made from the articles in question, had resulted it was proven. Offense’ Under Law. The court ruled that under the law this was an offense, because the sale and re-sale of the articles had been made by the defendants with a profit to which they were not entitled, hav- ing added nelther to the yalue of the articles, nor facilitated their distribu- tion. They had, in fact, found the judge, rendered - distribution more difficult by holding the articles for a certain time. The defense was that the accused had acted within their constitutional rights by buying and selling as they had done, and that they had not ham- pered distribution, because they had at all times been ready to sell. But the prosecution obliged the defendants to make the admission that they had held for a higher price, whereupon the court found that this, was now an offense, because to hold necessities for the gaining of a profit, through the operation of the law of “supply and demand’ was illegal. Imprisonment and Fines. Heavy penalties of imprisonmeut and fines were imposed upon, the three dealers. Austria did not always have such a law. Taking this view of economics is distinctly a result of the war—the spirit that nobody shall gain at the expension of the other when “the other” is likely to be at the front, risking his life for his country ad leaving his family in straightened c cumstances, perhaps. To *deal for profit’ has become a very dangerous and unprofitable en- terprise in Austria today. ., But the Hungarian government, which hitherto has not been obliged to concern itself much with this problem is also begin- ning to act. Hungary has greater food resources than Austria, and, for this reason, speculators have not found so0 good a field there. Iccastuffs have been so relatively plentif 11 there that so far, for instance, it has not been thought necessary to regulate the consumption of bread by means of a bread card. almost universally used in Austria. Austrian is of interes Nothing in Common, Contrary to opinions ger crally held, | in interfor affairs, Austria and Hun- gary have nothing in common. On this account, Hungary not improv- ing her own ‘“anti-speculation laws.” Before the Hungarian diet, now in session, is a bill, introduced by the Hungarian minister of justice, accord- ing to which no person outside of a trade or industry, or wiflout the spe- cial permission of the aiaorities, may buy or sell, for purposes of gaining profit through speculation, any food- “TIZ" EASES TIRED, 'SORE, SWOLLEN FEET relief aching, up, calloused fect and corns.
